Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Mehrstufengetriebe in Planetenbauweise, insbesondere für ein Kraftfahrzeug, gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The present invention relates to a planetary gear multi-speed transmission, in particular for a motor vehicle, according to the preamble of patent claim 1.

Mehrstufengetriebe in Planetenbauweise, insbesondere für Kraftfahrzeuge, umfassen nach dem Stand der Technik Planetenradsätze, die mittels Reibungs- bzw. Schaltelementen, wie etwa Kupplungen und Bremsen, geschaltet werden und üblicherweise mit einem einer Schlupfwirkung unterliegenden und wahlweise mit einer Überbrückungskupplung versehenen Anfahrelement, wie etwa einem hydrodynamischen Drehmomentwandler oder einer Strömungskupplung, verbunden sind.Multi-stage transmissions in planetary construction, particularly for motor vehicles, include in the prior art planetary gear sets, which are switched by means of friction or switching elements, such as clutches and brakes, and usually with a slipping action and optionally provided with a lock-up starting element, such as hydrodynamic torque converter or a fluid coupling, are connected.

Ein derartiges Mehrstufengetriebe in Planetenbauweise ist beispielsweise aus der DE 199 49 507 A1 der Anmelderin bekannt; hierbei sind an der Antriebswelle zwei nicht schaltbare Vorschaltradsätze vorgesehen, die ausgangsseitig zwei Drehzahlen erzeugen, die neben der Drehzahl der Antriebswelle wahlweise auf einen auf die Abtriebswelle wirkenden, schaltbaren Doppelplanetenradsatz durch selektives Schließen der verwendeten Schaltelemente derart schaltbar sind, dass zum Umschalten von einem Gang in den jeweils nächstfolgenden höheren oder niedrigeren Gang von den beiden gerade betätigten Schaltelementen jeweils nur ein Schaltelement zu- oder abgeschaltet werden muss.Such a multi-stage transmission planetary construction is for example from the DE 199 49 507 A1 known to the applicant; Here, two non-shiftable Vorschaltradsätze are provided on the output side, the output side generate two speeds that are selectively switchable in addition to the speed of the drive shaft to a force acting on the output shaft, switchable Doppelplanetenradsatz by selectively closing the switching elements used that to switch from a gear in the respective next higher or lower gear from the two currently operated switching elements only one switching element must be switched on or off.

Unter Verwendung von fünf Schaltelementen werden hierbei sieben Vorwärtsgänge erzielt, unter Verwendung von sechs Schaltelementen neun oder zehn Vorwärtsgänge.Using five shifting elements, seven forward gears are achieved, with nine or ten forward gears using six shifting elements.

Ferner ist aus der DE 29 36 969 A1 ein 9-Gang-Mehrstufengetriebe bekannt; es umfasst acht Schaltelemente und vier Planetenradsätze, wobei ein Planetenradsatz als Vorschaltgetriebe dient und das Hauptgetriebe einen Simpson-Satz und einen weiteren als Umkehrgetriebe dienenden Planetenradsatz aufweist.Furthermore, from the DE 29 36 969 A1 a 9-speed multi-speed transmission known; it comprises eight switching elements and four planetary gear sets, one planetary gear set serving as a primary gear and the main gear has a Simpson set and another serving as a reverse gear planetary gear.

Weitere Mehrstufengetriebe sind beispielsweise aus der DE 102005 032 884 A1 DE 10 2005 010 210 A1 und der DE 10 2006 006 637 A1 der Anmelderin bekannt.Further multi-speed transmissions are for example from the DE 102005 032 884 A1 DE 10 2005 010 210 A1 and the DE 10 2006 006 637 A1 the applicant known.

Automatisch schaltbare Fahrzeuggetriebe in Planetenbauweise im Allgemeinen sind im Stand der Technik bereits vielfach beschrieben und unterliegen einer permanenten Weiterentwicklung und Verbesserung. So sollen diese Getriebe einen geringen Bauaufwand, insbesondere eine geringe Anzahl an Schaltelementen erfordern und bei sequentieller Schaltweise Doppelschaltungen, d.h. ein Zu- bzw. Abschalten von zwei Schaltelementen vermeiden, so dass bei Schaltungen in definierten Ganggruppen jeweils nur ein Schaltelement gewechselt wird.Automatically switchable vehicle transmissions in planetary construction in general are already widely described in the prior art and are subject to permanent development and improvement. Thus, these transmissions are to require a low construction cost, in particular a small number of switching elements and in sequential switching manner double circuits, i. avoid switching on or off of two switching elements, so that in circuits in defined gear groups only one switching element is changed.

Aus der DE 10 2008 000 428 A1 der Anmelderin ist ein Mehrstufengetriebe in Planetenbauweise bekannt, welches einen Antrieb und einen Abtrieb aufweist, welche in einem Gehäuse angeordnet sind. Bei dem bekannten Getriebe sind zumindest vier Planetenradsätze, im Folgenden als erster, zweiter, dritter und vierter Planetenradsatz bezeichnet, mindestens acht drehbare Wellen - im Folgenden als Antriebswelle, Abtriebswelle, dritte, vierte, fünfte, sechste, siebte und achte Welle bezeichnet sowie zumindest sechs Schaltelemente, umfassend Bremsen und Kupplungen, vorgesehen, deren selektives Eingreifen verschiedene Übersetzungsverhältnisse zwischen dem Antrieb und dem Abtrieb bewirkt, so dass vorzugsweise neun Vorwärtsgänge und ein Rückwärtsgang realisierbar sind.From the DE 10 2008 000 428 A1 The applicant is a planetary gear multi-speed transmission known which has a drive and an output, which are arranged in a housing.

Vorzugsweise ist bei dem bekannten Getriebe die vierte Welle ständig mit dem Hohlrad des dritten Planetenradsatzes verbunden, wobei die sechste Welle ständig mit dem Hohlrad des vierten Planetenradsatzes und dem Steg des dritten Planetenradsatzes verbunden und über die dritte Kupplung mit der Antriebswelle lösbar verbindbar ist. Ferner ist die siebte Welle ständig mit den Sonnenrädern des dritten und vierten Planetenradsatzes verbunden und über die dritte Bremse an ein Gehäuse des Getriebes ankoppelbar. Der Abtrieb erfolgt hierbei über die ständig mit dem Steg des vierten Planetenradsatzes verbundene Abtriebswelle. Des Weiteren können der dritte und der vierte Planetenradsatz zu einem Ravigneaux-Satz mit einem gemeinsamen Steg und einem gemeinsamen Hohlrad zusammengesetzt bzw. reduziert sein.Preferably, in the known transmission, the fourth shaft is constantly connected to the ring gear of the third planetary gear set, wherein the sixth shaft is continuously connected to the ring gear of the fourth planetary gear set and the web of the third planetary gear and releasably connectable via the third clutch to the drive shaft.

Die Planetenradsätze sind axial betrachtet vorzugsweise in der Reihenfolge erster Planetenradsatz, zweiter Planetenradsatz, dritter Planetenradsatz, vierter Planetenradsatz oder erster Planetenradsatz, zweiter Planetenradsatz, vierter Planetenradsatz, dritter Planetenradsatz angeordnet und sind vorzugsweise als Minus-Planetenradsätze ausgebildet.The planetary gear sets are preferably arranged axially in the order of the first planetary gearset, second planetary gearset, third planetary gearset, fourth planetary gearset or first planetary gearset, second planetary gearset, fourth planetary gearset, third planetary gearset, and are preferably configured as minus planetary gear sets.

Ein einfacher Minus-Planetenradsatz umfasst bekanntlich ein Sonnenrad, ein Hohlrad und einen Steg, an dem Planetenräder drehbar gelagert sind, die jeweils mit Sonnenrad und Hohlrad kämmen. Hierdurch weist das Hohlrad bei festgehaltenem Steg eine zum Sonnenrad entgegengesetzte Drehrichtung auf. Demgegenüber umfasst ein einfacher Plus-Planetenradsatz ein Sonnenrad, ein Hohlrad und einen Steg, an dem innere und äußere Planetenräder drehbar gelagert sind, wobei alle inneren Planetenräder mit dem Sonnenrad und alle äußeren Planetenräder mit dem Hohlrad kämmen, wobei jedes innere Planetenrad mit jeweils einem äußeren Planetenrad kämmt. Hierdurch weist das Hohlrad bei festgehaltenem Steg die gleiche Drehrichtung auf wie das Sonnenrad und es ergibt sich eine positive Standgetriebeübersetzung.A simple minus planetary gear known to include a sun gear, a ring gear and a ridge on which planet gears are rotatably mounted, each meshing with the sun gear and ring gear. In this way, the ring gear at a fixed web on a sun gear opposite direction of rotation. In contrast, a simple plus planetary gear includes a sun gear, a ring gear and a web on which inner and outer planetary gears are rotatably mounted, all inner planetary gears mesh with the sun gear and all outer planetary gears with the ring gear, each inner planetary gear, each with an outer Planet wheel meshes. As a result, the ring gear has the same direction of rotation when the web is held on as the sun gear and there is a positive stationary gear ratio.

Gemäß der Erfindung ist das Sonnenrad des ersten Planetenradsatzes mit der fünften Welle verbunden, die mit dem Hohlrad des dritten Planetenradsatzes verbunden und über eine erste Kupplung mit der mit dem Steg des zweiten Planetenradsatzes verbundenen achten Welle lösbar verbindbar ist, welche über eine zweite Kupplung mit der mit dem Sonnenrad des dritten Planetenradsatzes und dem Sonnenrad des vierten Planetenradsatzes verbundenen siebten Welle lösbar verbindbar ist.According to the invention, the sun gear of the first planetary gear set is connected to the fifth shaft, which is connected to the ring gear of the third planetary gear set and detachably connectable via a first clutch to the eighth shaft connected to the web of the second planetary gear set, which via a second clutch with the with the sun gear of the third planetary gear set and the sun gear of the fourth planetary gear set connected seventh shaft is detachably connectable.

Des Weiteren ist der Steg des ersten Planetenradsatzes mit der Antriebswelle verbunden, welche mit dem Hohlrad des zweiten Planetenradsatzes verbunden ist, wobei das Sonnenrad des zweiten Planetenradsatzes mit der neunten Welle verbunden ist, welche über eine dritte Kupplung mit der dritten Welle lösbar verbindbar ist, welche mit dem Steg des dritten Planetenradsatzes verbunden und über eine erste Bremse an das Gehäuse des Getriebes ankoppelbar ist.Furthermore, the web of the first planetary gear set is connected to the drive shaft, which is connected to the ring gear of the second planetary gear set, wherein the sun gear of the second planetary gear set is connected to the ninth shaft, which is releasably connectable via a third clutch to the third shaft, which connected to the web of the third planetary gear set and can be coupled via a first brake to the housing of the transmission.

Durch die erfindungsgemäße Ausgestaltung des Mehrstufengetriebes ergeben sich insbesondere für Personenkraftwagen geeignete Übersetzungen sowie eine erhöhte Gesamtspreizung des Mehrstufengetriebes, wodurch eine Verbesserung des Fahrkomforts und eine signifikante Verbrauchsabsenkung bewirkt werden.The inventive design of the multi-speed transmission results in particular for passenger cars suitable translations and increased total spread of the multi-speed transmission, whereby an improvement in ride comfort and a significant consumption reduction can be effected.

Darüber hinaus wird mit dem erfindungsgemäßen Mehrstufengetriebe durch eine geringe Anzahl an Schaltelementen der Bauaufwand erheblich reduziert. In vorteilhafter Weise ist es mit dem erfindungsgemäßen Mehrstufengetriebe möglich, ein Anfahren mit einem hydrodynamischen Wandler, einer externen Anfahrkupplung oder auch mit sonstigen geeigneten externen Anfahrelementen durchzuführen. Es ist auch denkbar, einen Anfahrvorgang mit einem im Getriebe integrierten Anfahrelement zu ermöglichen. Vorzugsweise eignet sich ein Schaltelement, welches im ersten Vorwärtsgang und im Rückwärtsgang betätigt wird.In addition, the construction cost is significantly reduced with the multi-stage transmission according to the invention by a small number of switching elements. Advantageously, it is possible with the multistage transmission according to the invention to carry out a start with a hydrodynamic converter, an external starting clutch or other suitable external starting elements. It is also conceivable to allow a starting operation with a start-up element integrated in the transmission. Preferably, a switching element which is actuated in the first forward gear and in reverse is suitable.

Des Weiteren ergibt sich bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Mehrstufengetriebe ein guter Wirkungsgrad in den Hauptfahrgängen bezüglich der Schlepp- und Verzahnungsverluste.Furthermore, in the multistage transmission according to the invention, a good efficiency in the main drives with respect to the drag and gear losses.

Ferner liegen geringe Drehmomente in den Schaltelementen und in den Planetenradsätzen des Mehrstufengetriebes vor, wodurch der Verschleiß bei dem Mehrstufengetriebe in vorteilhafter Weise reduziert wird. Zudem wird durch die geringen Drehmomente eine entsprechend geringe Dimensionierung ermöglicht, wodurch der benötigte Bauraum und die entsprechenden Kosten reduziert werden. Darüber hinaus liegen auch geringe Drehzahlen bei den Wellen, den Schaltelementen und den Planetenradsätzen vor.Furthermore, there are low torques in the switching elements and in the planetary gear sets of the multi-speed transmission, whereby the wear in the multi-speed transmission is advantageously reduced. In addition, a correspondingly small dimensioning is made possible by the low torques, whereby the required space and the corresponding costs are reduced. In addition, there are also low speeds at the shafts, the switching elements and the planetary gear sets.

Die Kupplungen und die Bremsen des Getriebes können als Reibschaltelemente bzw. Lamellenschaltelemente ausgeführt sein, die den Vorteil aufweisen, dass sie unter Last schaltbar sind. Schaltelemente im Sinne der Erfindung können jedoch auch als formschlüssige Schaltelemente wie z.B. synchronisierte oder unsynchronisierte Klauenkupplungen oder -bremsen ausgebildet sein. Ein erfindungsgemäßes Getriebe kann dabei ausschließlich Reibschaltelemente oder eine Kombination von Reibschaltelementen und formschlüssigen Schaltelementen umfassen. Formschlüssige Schaltelemente werden dabei vorzugsweise an Stellen eingesetzt, bei denen dieses Schaltelement nicht unter Last zugeschaltet können werden muss, was beispielsweise in den Anfahrgängen der Fall sein kann oder in sehr lang übersetzten hohen Gängen bei denen eine kurze Zugkraftunterbrechung aufgrund des geringen Zugkraftniveaus ohne merkliche Komforteinbußen tolerierbar ist. Aufgrund der kompakten Bauform des erfindungsgemäßen Getriebes ist es sowohl für einen Längseinbau als auch für einen Quereinbau im Fahrzeug geeignet.The clutches and the brakes of the transmission can be designed as Reibschaltelemente or lamellar switching elements, which have the advantage that they can be switched under load. However, switching elements according to the invention can also be used as form-locking switching elements, such as synchronized or unsynchronized jaw clutches or brakes be formed. A transmission according to the invention may comprise exclusively friction shifting elements or a combination of friction shifting elements and positive shifting elements. Positive locking switching elements are preferably used in places where this switching element can not be switched on under load, which may be the case for example in the starting gears or in very long translated high gears where a short interruption of traction due to the low Zugkraftniveaus tolerable without significant loss of comfort is. Due to the compact design of the transmission according to the invention, it is suitable both for a longitudinal installation as well as for a transverse installation in the vehicle.

Außerdem ist das erfindungsgemäße Getriebe derart konzipiert, dass eine Anpassbarkeit an unterschiedliche Triebstrangausgestaltungen sowohl in Kraftflussrichtung als auch in räumlicher Hinsicht ermöglicht wird.In addition, the transmission according to the invention is designed such that an adaptability to different drive train configurations is made possible both in the power flow direction as well as in space.

The spatial arrangement of the switching elements can be arbitrary and is limited only by the dimensions and the external shape. The clutches and the brakes of the transmission are preferably designed as Reibschaltelemente or lamellar switching elements.

Mit diesen Schaltelementen ist ein selektives Schalten von neun Vorwärtsgängen und einem Rückwärtsgang realisierbar. Das erfindungsgemäße Mehrstufengetriebe weist insgesamt neun drehbare Wellen auf, nämlich die Wellen 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 und 9, wobei die Antriebswelle die erste Welle und die Abtriebswelle die zweite Welle des Getriebes bildet.With these switching elements a selective switching of nine forward gears and one reverse gear can be realized.

Erfindungsgemäß ist bei dem Mehrstufengetriebe gemäß Figur 1 vorgesehen, dass das Sonnenrad des ersten Planetenradsatzes P1 mit der fünften Welle 5 verbunden ist, welche mit dem Hohlrad des dritten Planetenradsatzes P3 verbunden und über eine erste Kupplung 58 mit der mit dem Steg des zweiten Planetenradsatzes P2 verbundenen achten Welle 8 lösbar verbindbar ist, die über eine zweite Kupplung 78 mit der mit dem Sonnenrad des dritten Planetenradsatzes P3 und dem Sonnenrad des vierten Planetenradsatzes P4 verbundenen siebten Welle 7 lösbar verbindbar ist.According to the invention in the multi-stage transmission according to FIG. 1 provided that the sun gear of the first planetary gear P1 is connected to the fifth shaft 5, which is connected to the ring gear of the third planetary gear set P3 and via a first clutch 58 with the connected to the web of the second planetary gear set P2 eighth shaft 8 is releasably connectable via a second clutch 78 with the sun gear of the third planetary gear set P3 and the sun gear of the fourth planetary gear set P4 connected seventh shaft 7 detachably is connectable.

Gemäß der Erfindung und bezugnehmend auf Figur 1 ist der Steg des ersten Planetenradsatzes P1 mit der Antriebswelle 1 des Getriebes verbunden, welche mit dem Hohlrad des zweiten Planetenradsatzes P2 verbunden ist; das Sonnenrad des zweiten Planetenradsatzes P2 ist mit der neunten Welle 9 verbunden, welche über eine dritte Kupplung 39 mit der dritten Welle 3 lösbar verbindbar ist, welche mit dem Steg des dritten Planetenradsatzes P3 verbunden und über eine erste Bremse 03 an das Gehäuse G des Getriebes ankoppelbar ist.According to the invention and referring to FIG. 1 the web of the first planetary gear P1 is connected to the drive shaft 1 of the transmission, which is connected to the ring gear of the second planetary P2; the sun gear of the second planetary gear set P2 is connected to the ninth shaft 9, which is detachably connectable via a third clutch 39 to the third shaft 3, which is connected to the web of the third planetary gear set P3 and a first brake 03 to the housing G of the transmission can be coupled.

Ferner ist das Hohlrad des vierten Planetenradsatzes P4 mit der vierten Welle 4 verbunden, die über eine zweite Bremse 04 an das Gehäuse G des Getriebes ankoppelbar ist, wobei die Abtriebswelle 2 mit dem Steg des vierten Planetenradsatzes P4 verbunden und über eine vierte Kupplung 26 mit der mit dem Hohlrad des ersten Planetenradsatzes P1 verbundenen sechsten Welle 6 lösbar verbindbar ist.Further, the ring gear of the fourth planetary gear set P4 is connected to the fourth shaft 4, which is coupled via a second brake 04 to the housing G of the transmission, wherein the output shaft 2 connected to the web of the fourth planetary gear set P4 and a fourth clutch 26 with the connected to the ring gear of the first planetary gear set P1 sixth shaft 6 is detachably connectable.

Die erste und die zweite Bremse 03, 04 können axial betrachtet nebeneinander angeordnet sein. Zudem können die vierte Kupplung 26 und die zweite Kupplung 78 axial betrachtet vorzugsweise zwischen dem ersten Planetenradsatz P1 und dem zweiten Planetenradsatz P2 angeordnet sein.The first and second brakes 03, 04 can be arranged axially next to each other. In addition, viewed axially, the fourth clutch 26 and the second clutch 78 may preferably be disposed between the first planetary gear set P1 and the second planetary gear set P2.

In Figur 2 ist ein beispielhaftes Schaltschema eines Mehrstufengetriebes gemäß Figur 1 dargestellt. Für jeden Gang werden vier Schaltelemente geschlossen. Dem Schaltschema können die jeweiligen Übersetzungen i der einzelnen Gangstufen und die daraus zu bestimmenden Gangsprünge bzw. Stufensprünge φ zum nächst höheren Gang beispielhaft entnommen werden, wobei der Wert 8,992 die Spreizung des Getriebes darstellt.In FIG. 2 is an exemplary circuit diagram of a multi-speed transmission according to FIG. 1 shown. For each gear four switching elements are closed. The shift scheme, the respective ratios i of the individual gear ratios and the gear ratios to be determined therefrom or increments φ are taken to the next higher gear example, the value of 8,992 represents the spread of the transmission.

Typische Werte für die Standgetriebeübersetzungen der als Minus-Planetenradsätze ausgeführten Planetenradsätze P1, P2, P3 und P4 sind jeweils -2,292, -1,600, -1,600 und -2,449. Aus Figur 2 wird ersichtlich, dass bei sequentieller Schaltweise jeweils nur ein Schaltelement zugeschaltet und ein Schaltelement abgeschaltet werden muss, da zwei benachbarte Gangstufen drei Schaltelemente gemeinsam benutzen. Ferner wird ersichtlich, dass eine große Spreizung bei kleinen Gangsprüngen erzielt wird.Typical values for the stationary gear ratios of the planetary gear sets P1, P2, P3 and P4 which are designed as minus planetary gear sets are respectively -2.292, -1.600, -1.600 and -2.449. Out FIG. 2 It will be seen that in sequential switching mode only one switching element is switched on and one switching element has to be switched off, since two adjacent gear stages use three switching elements in common. Further, it will be seen that a large spread is achieved with small gear jumps.

Der erste Vorwärts-Gang ergibt sich durch Schließen der ersten und zweiten Bremse 03, 04 und der zweiten und dritten Kupplung 78, 39, der zweite VorwärtsGang durch Schließen der zweiten Bremse 04 und der ersten, zweiten und dritten Kupplung 58, 78, 39, der dritte Vorwärts-Gang durch Schließen der zweiten Bremse 04 und der zweiten, dritten und vierten Kupplung 78, 39, 26, der vierte VorwärtsGang durch Schließen der zweiten Bremse 04 und der ersten, zweiten und vierten Kupplung 58, 78, 26, der fünfte Vorwärts-Gang durch Schließen der zweiten Bremse 04 und der ersten, dritten und vierten Kupplung 58, 39, 26, der als Direktgang ausgeführte sechste Vorwärts-Gang durch Schließen sämtlicher Kupplungen 26, 39, 58, 78, der siebte Vorwärts-Gang durch Schließen der ersten Bremse 03 und der ersten, dritten und vierten Kupplung 58, 39, 26, der achte Vorwärts-Gang durch Schließen der ersten Bremse 03 und der ersten, zweiten und vierten Kupplung 58, 78, 26 und der neunte Vorwärts-Gang ergibt sich durch Schließen der ersten Bremse 03 und der zweiten, dritten und vierten Kupplung 78, 39, 26, wobei sich der Rückwärtsgang durch Schließen der ersten und zweiten Bremse 03, 04 und der ersten und dritten Kupplung 58, 39 ergibt.The first forward gear is obtained by closing the first and second brakes 03, 04 and the second and third clutches 78, 39, the second forward gear by closing the second brake 04 and the first, second and third clutches 58, 78, 39, the third forward gear by closing the second brake 04 and the second, third and fourth clutches 78, 39, 26, the fourth forward gear by closing the second brake 04 and the first, second and fourth clutches 58, 78, 26, the fifth Forward gear by closing the second brake 04 and the first, third and fourth clutch 58, 39, 26, the executed as a direct gear sixth forward gear by closing all clutches 26, 39, 58, 78, the seventh forward gear by closing the first brake 03 and the first, third and fourth clutches 58, 39, 26, the eighth forward gear by closing the first brake 03 and the first, second and fourth clutches 58, 78, 26 and the ninth forward gear Gear is obtained by closing the first brake 03 and the second, third and fourth clutch 78, 39, 26, wherein the reverse gear by closing the first and second brake 03, 04 and the first and third clutch 58, 39 results.

Dadurch, dass im ersten Vorwärtsgang und im ersten Rückwärtsgang die erste und zweite Bremse 03, 04 und die dritte Kupplung 39 geschlossen sind, können diese Schaltelemente als Anfahrelemente eingesetzt werden.Characterized in that in the first forward gear and in the first reverse gear, the first and second brake 03, 04 and the third clutch 39 are closed, these switching elements can be used as starting elements.

Gemäß der Erfindung ergeben sich auch bei gleichem Getriebeschema je nach Schaltlogik unterschiedliche Gangsprünge, so dass eine anwendungs- bzw. fahrzeugspezifische Variation ermöglicht wird.According to the invention, even with the same transmission scheme depending on the switching logic different gear jumps, so that an application or vehicle-specific variation is possible.

Erfindungsgemäß ist es möglich, an jeder geeigneten Stelle des Mehrstufengetriebes zusätzliche Freiläufe vorzusehen, beispielsweise zwischen einer Welle und dem Gehäuse oder um zwei Wellen gegebenenfalls zu verbinden.According to the invention, it is possible to provide additional freewheels at any suitable location of the multi-speed transmission, for example between a shaft and the housing or, if necessary, to connect two shafts.

Es ist auch möglich, ein derartiges Anfahrelement in Kraftflussrichtung hinter dem Getriebe anzuordnen, wobei in diesem Fall die Antriebswelle 1 ständig mit der Kurbelwelle des Antriebsmotors verbunden ist.In the context of an advantageous development, the drive shaft 1 can be separated by a coupling element of a drive motor as needed, with a hydrodynamic converter, a hydraulic clutch, a dry starting clutch, a wet starting clutch, a magnetic powder clutch or a centrifugal clutch can be used as the coupling element. It is also possible to arrange such a starting element in the power flow direction behind the transmission, in which case the drive shaft 1 is constantly connected to the crankshaft of the drive motor.
